  • A Study of the Animal Bone Recovered from Pits 9 and 10 at the Site of Nagsabaran in Northern Luzon, Philippines
    A Study of the Animal Bone Recovered from Pits 9 and 10 at the Site of Nagsabaran in Northern Luzon, Philippines Philip J. Piper1, Fredeliza Z. Campos1, and Hsiao-chun Hung2 Abstract Excavations in 2004 at the site of Nagsabaran in northern Luzon produced a small but important animal bone assemblage dating to the Neolithic and Metal Age periods of the region. Detailed zooarchaeological analysis of the bone fragments has demonstrated that during the Neolithic period human subsistence strategies focussed on the hunting of wild pigs and deer, supplemented by the rearing of domestic pigs and fishing. In the Metal Age, the immense shell middens attest to the importance of aquatic invertebrates in the diet, but human populations continue to hunt wild pigs and deer and raise domestic pigs as they did in the Neolithic period. The domestic dog is evident within the archaeological record from about 1,500 years ago. Introduction The archaeological site of Nagsabaran in northern Luzon (Figures 1a and 1b) consists of a large shell midden located on the south bank of the Zabaran Creek (or Nagsabaran Creek), close to where it joins the Cagayan River from the west. It is about 22 kilometres from the mouth of the Cagayan River located in the Barangay Alaguia, Lal-lo (N18。09’31‛, E121。38’22‛).

Groves Receipt of Ms. 21. 5. 1975 It has long been appreciated that within the Indonesian archipelago lies one of the most remarkable zoogeographical boundaries in the world. In Java, Sumatra and Borneo may be found the typical Oriental Fauna, with representatives of the Pongidae, Cercopithecidae, Lorisidae, Felidae, Mustelidae, Elephantidae, and other families from many mammalian Orders; in New Guinea, 1300 km due east, none of these groups occur, indeed no placental order appears to be indigenous except the Rodentia, and the most conspicuous mammals, the Marsupiais, are absent from the Oriental region. Fig. 1. Map of the Indo-Australian Archipelago showing the three faunal hnes — Waliace's, Weber's and Lydekker's — discussed in the text of this paper But this is not the whole story. The bulk of the Oriental fauna is already missing from Sulawesi, only 50 km from Borneo across the Makassar straits; and the islands dosest to New Guinea, such as Seram and Halmaheira, already lack the major part of the latter's fauna, To the south, Lombok appeared to some authors to be gravely depauperate compared to Bali; Timor, compared to Australia. Two Standard text- books of zoogeography represent this Situation in slightly different ways: de Beau- FORT (1951) treats it in terms of three faunal lines — Waliace's, Weber's and Lydekker's — while Darlington (1957) prefers to qualify the zone itself as a "Subtraction-transition zone".

  • The Late Quaternary Palaeogeography of Mammal Evolution in the Indonesian Archipelago
    Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 171 32001) 385±408 www.elsevier.com/locate/palaeo The Late Quaternary palaeogeography of mammal evolution in the Indonesian Archipelago Gert D. van den Bergha,*, John de Vosb, Paul Y. Sondaarc aNetherlands Institute for Sea Research, Texel, The Netherlands bNational Museum of Natural History, Leiden, The Netherlands cNature Museum, Rotterdam, The Netherlands Received 14 November 1999; received in revised form 26 April 2000; accepted for publication 25 September 2000 Abstract The Quaternary faunal evolution for the Indonesian Archipelago re¯ects the unique relationship of each island with SE Asian mainland. The recent sub faunas of Sundaland 3Kalimantan, Sumatra, Java, and Bali) preserved broad connections with the SE Asian mainland during the latest glacial. They are all balanced and show many mainland components. Alternatively, Wallacea 3Sulawesi and the Lesser Sunda Islands) has always been geographically isolated from the mainland. Wallacea faunas thus remain unbalanced 3they lack large carnivores) and endemic. A signi®cant turnover arrives throughout the region with pronounced global sea level recessions around 0.8 Ma, during the transition from Early Pleistocene 3EP) to the Middle Pleistocene 3MP). By way of comparison, the palaeontological records of Japan and Taiwan also preserve this turnover, with EP±MP recessions bringing East Asian mainland immigrants. On Java, the earliest, Late Pliocene to early Pleistocene Satir fauna indicates island conditions. Java became connected to the SE Asian mainland towards the end of the early Pleistocene. Global cooling brought open woodlands on Java, an environment evidently preferred by Homo erectus in the Ci Saat fauna and Trinil H.K. fauna. As EP±MP sea level recessions created a wide corridor across the Sunda Shelf, Siwaliks and the SE Asian mainland terrestrial mammals invaded, as is seen in the Kedung Brubus fauna.
